i don't think we know enough about that attack in benghazi. it looks to me as though it was a coordinated, well-informed and well-planned attack. they took advantage of the protest that was being mounted. i think the protest itself, most people don't know about this video and haven't seen it, and they are being told about things that they really don't know. i think it has been used by our terrorists and enemies to commit acts against the united states. i don't think it's the real reason for the acts. megyn: andy card, always great to get your perspective. thank you for being here. president obama is set to speak on the mideast crisis in less than an hour. you will see that in less than an hour. it's a busy afternoon. 4g lte has the fastest speeds. so let's talk about coverage. based on this chart, who would you choose ? wow. you guys take a minute. zon, hands down. i'm going to show you guys another chart. pretty obvious. i don't think color matters. pretty obvious. what'sretty obvious about it ? that verizon has the coverage. verin. verizon.

that attack also taking place in benghazi. and then a week after that, islamist militants attacked another consulate in benghazi, the consulate of tunisia. so, yes, there is that video, this crude, anti-muslim video which is the latest anti-muslim provocation causing protests and riots around the world. we will talk more about that later. but what happened last night in libya does not seem to be the spontaneous outburst of a crowd that had its sensitivities offended by religious provocation. it does not seem to have been that kind of violence, at least at this early date. that angry religious mob phenomenon is part of the relevant context for understanding how an american ambassador was killed last night. but it may also be just as relevant to put it in context, put it in the context of other terrorist attacks, organized terrorist attack on other u.s. embassies, like in kenya and tanzania in 1998. obviously, this is not on the same scale, but this may have been the same kind of target. you saw the president and the vice presid
